One Guard

Utah Jazz, they are considered to be the most likely to change the situation in the West this season. {Following}{梦}щ{suimеng][lā} Although it is not going to compete for the final championship glory, it is still possible to change the pattern of the Western Conference playoffs.

There are nothing more than two reasons for the Jazz's rapid rise in people's hearts, Snyder and Hayward. The performance of the two this season exceeded expectations. Although the record of 5 wins and 5 losses this season is not amazing, it is not a failure.

So that tonight, the Jazz against the Mavericks, this previously unsuspecting game, has become a highly anticipated match. In addition to the relationship between Yiyang and Hayward, the rise of the Jazz itself is the reason why people pay attention to this game.

Both Snyder and Hayward are eager to break the Mavericks' winning streak at the American Route Center Arena, while Yiyang aims to take ten consecutive victories on the Jazz.

The regular season has just begun, and neither team wants to be too far behind on the leaderboard as soon as they come up. So before the game, Yiyang and Hayward never spoke to each other after they greeted each other. Before the end of the game, they are the worst enemy!

In the past five years, most of the Mavericks and Jazz games ended with the Mavericks winning. In those games, Hayward played a supporting role most of the time. Who was the protagonist of the Jazz before? It's Deron who is now substituting Yiyang. After that, there were two twin towers, Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap. Until now, the protagonist of the Jazz has become Hayward.

So strictly speaking, this is the first time Hayward has led the team to fight against Yiyang's Mavericks as the head star. Most of the time, Hayward hopes that Yiyang can win the game, but only when the Mavericks opponent is the Jazz.

The game started quickly, and Gobert easily received the basketball over Favors. Brazilian defender Neto is a fake, playing more than ten minutes in each game. Snyder's real point guard is actually Alec Burks sitting on the bench at this time.

But neither Burks nor Neto is a defensive champion. The Jazz, like the Spurs, rely more on the system for defense than on individual combat.

Yiyang easily passed the inner support without even using any fake actions, just abruptly stopping and accelerating. After passing Burks, the Jazz second-year swingman Rodney Hood came up on defense.

Although Hood is tall and has long arms, he still failed to interfere with Yiyang's emergency stop jumper because of a little hesitation.

As soon as he came up, Yiyang easily broke the Jazz's defense line, which made the fans and commentators relaxed in an instant. Maybe this game will not be any different from before.

Then the Jazz attacked, and Favors shot and shot under the interference of Gobert. Facing Favors, who is less than 2.0 meters, Gobert's height advantage is too obvious. In order to avoid blocking, Favors only increased the arc of the shot. However, once the arc is adjusted, the front sight will also be lost.

Gobert's defense is as good as ever. As the Jazz's No. 2 scoring point this season, Favors undoubtedly encountered a huge challenge.

After Nowitzki grabbed the defensive rebound, he passed the ball directly to Yiyang, letting Yiyang hit the Jazz's basket with a fast pace.

After receiving the basketball, Yiyang easily broke through, and finally managed to make a layup under the interference of Hayward.

After three rounds of competition, the Mavericks turned the score to 4-0, leaving no room for the Jazz to counterattack. It seems that the opening two rounds should be the epitome of this game. Although the Jazz has made a lot of progress, there is still a big gap compared with the Mavericks.

Snyder looked at the court coldly, without any expression. It's only two goals behind, and it's not time to retreat.

However, a few rounds have passed, and the situation on the court has not changed much. Snyder finally got up from the bench until the score became 8 to 0 and the gap was almost in double digits.

"I think Coach Snyder never thought about winning from the beginning." Seeing that the German-looking Yankee was so calm, Chris Webber couldn't help but joking on the commentary stage.

This time, Hayward's breakthrough put Gobert on his back for the second foul of the game. Hayward not only had to stand on the free throw line, but also forced Gobert to leave early.

Snyder's eyes gleamed, as if seeing an opportunity! Gobert's kind of inside defensive gate makes the Jazz's offense very difficult to promote. Because the Jazz are a team with very little space, they need to break into the three-second zone to score more often. Without Gobert, their offense is bound to increase significantly!

Hayward made two free throws and scored the first two points of the game for the Jazz. At the same time, it also sounded the clarion call for the Jazz to counterattack!

Taking this opportunity, Snyder made the first decision of the game. He replaced the real main point guard Burks, and the Jazz are about to start working hard!

This time, when Yiyang shook Burks away and prepared to break through, Hayward changed defense and opened his arms calmly.

Hayward's defense is definitely not bad. His strong body, good basic skills and experience accumulated over the past five years have all made his defense have a qualitative leap. Yiyang really wants to play against Hayward in the official game, but he can't delay the entire team's offense for his own "fun".

So Yiyang passed the ball to Wade, who drove straight in, intending to make a direct layup. But the Jazz power forward Trevor Booker quickly followed up, leaped forward, and froze Wade's layup from the side!

Although Booker has no commendable characteristics, he is always passionate about the game and dares to fight!

With a height of only 2 meters 03, he used his bounce and enthusiasm to get his heels on the fourth position.

Wade didn't expect the opponent to be so energetic. Generally, if other teams are ten minutes behind the Mavericks, they will never be so active.

The unbiased basketball that was fanned out by Booker fell into Hayward's arms!

After Hayward got the ball, he didn't advance himself. Since his college days, Hayward has preferred offensive offenses. He handed the ball to Burks, then advanced his own empty-handed, and Burks launched a double fast break!

Burks quickly advanced beyond the three-point line with the ball and used a pass from behind to send the opportunity to Hayward.

At this moment, Hayward was next to Iguodala. According to the "normal" situation, Hayward should have difficulty getting up under the interference of Iguodala!

However, Hayward's strength exceeded Iguodala's expectations. Confronting this guy, it feels like a confrontation with James is not much worse!

Hayward carried Iguodala on his shoulders and dunked with both hands. Iguodala could only watch the white forward take off in front of him.

With a loud noise from the basket, Hayward's hands flew to make Webber, who was still in all sorts of rogue just now, yelled and broke his throat! This guy Hayward is far more cruel than he looks!

"Four points, in the blink of an eye, the Jazz reduced the difference to only four points! They are very tenacious and did not panic or give up when they were 8-0 behind! Now, the Jazz are starting to counterattack!"

The Jazz's offensive will never be thunder and rain. On the defensive end, the Jazz have become harder. Seeing the equalizer goal is close at hand, no one wants to let the Mavericks score again.

Nowitzki's turn-over jumper was affected by Favors' push and lost its rhythm, and the Mavericks offense failed again. Hayward personally took the ball to the three-second zone this time, attracting the attention of all the Mavericks.

But after the jump, Hayward didn't layup against the defense, but scored the ball in the air.

After receiving the basketball, Favors easily made a shot at the mid-range position, 8 times, and the two sides almost returned to the same starting line.

"Nice counterattack, Hayward's passing is quite positive. Could it be. Is this also the result of Hayward's training this summer?"

In fact, it is true. Nash and Yiyang both taught Hayward some passing postures in the Brickley training camp this year. But Yiyang didn't expect Hayward to learn and use it so quickly.

After the goal, Hayward was unsmiling, lightly high-five with Favors, and then returned to the half to start the defense. This little otaku, who was very sloppy a few years ago, has finally become more like a team leader.

After being beaten by the Jazz to 0, Yiyang was of course very unwilling. Hayward's outstanding performance stimulated him, and he decided to take action personally to stabilize the situation.

However, when Yiyang took the screen and broke through the basket to prepare for a layup, Hayward came up again! Yiyang wanted to find teammates in the crowd, but found that he had been surrounded by Jazz players unknowingly, without vision and space at all!

Snyder smiled. The players performed their tactics very well today!

Yiyang had to bite the bullet and make a layup, but as always, this guy made a pull rod in the air.

Yiyang can fool most of the players in this league with this trick, but he can't fool Hayward. They really know each other too well.

When Yiyang took the basketball back into his arms, Hayward just took off, ready to block!

Yiyang gritted his teeth and had to shoot the basketball in advance! Even so, the basketball bounced around the basket five or six times before finally slipping down!

Although he didn't score, Hayward still broke out in a cold sweat! Under such a tight defense, he almost scored, Yiyang is really too strong!

But there is no essential difference between almost scoring a goal and three non-sticks. It is an attacking failure! Yiyang was very annoyed and wanted to steal on the spot, but Favors, who protected the rebound, quickly handed the ball to Burks, and the Jazz got a chance to tie the score!

This time, the Mavericks did a very strict defense! Burks’ shots are sometimes missing ~www.novelmtl.com~ Hood is not a stable shooting point either. Favors' range is limited to the middle distance. Trevor Booker is the kind of violent inside line that was very popular five years ago but is now almost eliminated by the league. He doesn't know what he shot.

It can be seen that only Hayward has a somewhat reliable shooting ability for the Jazz. So the Jazz’s offense is often limited in space!

But Snyder's team offense also has characteristics, that is, constantly running, covering and conducting! To put it bluntly, just never give up and die for 24 seconds! From top to bottom, the Jazz reveals a ruthless vigor that regards death as home!

The Jazz conducted 20 seconds, the Mavericks defense still has no flaws. But the effort paid off, and finally in the last four seconds, Hayward borrowed Favors' off-the-ball screen to go beyond the three-point line!

Burks then passed the ball, and Wade immediately made up the defense!

However, Hayward was not in a hurry to make a shot. He was staring at the basket and calmed down under Wade's interference. In the last four seconds, the goal was given to Hood!

Hood made a mid-range shot, and the moment the basketball hit the net, the red light on the backboard just lit up!

The buzzer shot equalized the score! The tenacious Utah Jazz, they unbelievably pulled 0 to 8 to 8 to 8 abruptly!

If you want to get 8 points in a row on the Mavericks, you can't do this without hard power! Hard-working defense and patient attack that never gave up kept the Jazz from crashing, but instead dazzled the defending champion!

Snyder did not pause from start to finish, but hoped that the players would overcome the difficulties themselves. Now, it was Carlisle's turn to call a timeout.

The tenacious will of the Jazz has completely changed the direction of the game, and people are admiring the Jazz.

A strong will is sometimes more difficult to defeat than a strong strength.
